Book excerpt: "Done well, migrant history offers a mirror to the host society, reflecting in another language, and from a fresh perspective, aspects of its national history that are perhaps less historiographically stable than most mainstream historians imagine. Dr Nick Anastastovski has produced a magnificent addition to the canon of Australian migrant history, valuable not only for Macedonians, but for everyone who cares to understand migration as a lived experience." -- Robert Pascoe, Dean Laureate and Professor of History, Victoria University, Melbourne "Pechalba Down Under by Nick Anastasovski is an important work for Macedonians in Australia, anyone with roots from Macedonia and for those who are interested in understanding Macedonian migration. This work comprehensively introduces the reader to the Macedonians and should be read by everyone who has an interest in learning about their Macedonian heritage but also anyone interested in learning about the Macedonians." -- Todor Petrov, President World Macedonian Congress

Download or read book Australians Don t Take Prisoners written by Peter Hendy and published by . This book was released on 2021-08-28 with total page 310 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "While wars have their share of glory they are brutal, awful things and should always be the last option for a national government. I commend this book and especially hope younger readers can absorb the lessons there are to learn in it - not only about the horrors of war but also the nobility in self sacrifice and duty to your country." -- The Hon. Peter Reith AM, Former Australian Minister for Defence Charlie Hardy was a blacksmith's assistant from Sydney, Australia. In his War Diaries he recorded his progress from a happy-go-lucky boy to a hard-bitten, military veteran in that terrible conflict, the Great War of 1914-1918. At Gallipoli he writes the words: "Allah Allah they yell & when they know they are beaten they throw down their arms and want to be taken prisoners but Australians don't take Prisoners". Charlie was an ordinary man involved in extraordinary events and this book weaves his diary entries into a comprehensive and informative history of the War - particularly the Gallipoli Campaign and the tragic Battle of Fromelles which was the worst single day in Australian military history. Charlie participates in the famous, heroic rear-guard action during this Battle, helping save hundreds of Australian lives, made even more poignant by the historical coincidence that Adolf Hitler was in opposing trenches to Charlie's company.

Book excerpt: This is a book about the "vicissitudes of life", a phrase I heard twice in one day, first said by my friend Jeffery Barnes over coffee at La Trobe University and, second, by one of the cast of Cosi, the Year 10 play which I saw the same evening at Caulfield Grammar School. The characters about whom I have written are a varied lot. Some are well known and made substantial contributions to our country. Others may not have been so successful. Some lived long lives; some died when they were young.

Book excerpt: On the evening of 18 October 1884, a group of at least five Aborigines, were sitting round a camp fire boiling the billy and yarning in blackfellow talk when they were fusilladed. Tommy jumped up and ran for it; followed by the thwacks and zings of the bullets as they whizzed after him. The others stayed where they fell. The next day, Alicky, a town blackboy spoke to John Moffat, a leading citizen about the incident, who asked to be shown the campsite. On reaching the camp, a gruesome scene of partially burnt Aborigines confronted the eyes of Moffat. Driven by curiosity and trepidation, he examined the bodies. One was the body of an old blackfellow, the two others were adult females and one was a picaninny whose sex was unknown. The bodies were lying side by side. Two with their heads one way and the other two in the opposite direction. The fire being in the middle of them. There were no observable marks of violence on the bodies other than that caused by the fire. The faces were turned somewhat downwards and it could not be established whether they were disfigured or not. Mr. Mowbray, the Police Magistrate at Herberton was notified. On 23 October 1884, when he arrived in Irvinebank to conduct an inquest on the bodies of the four Aborigines, all that he found was the remains of a large fire. The fire was still smouldering but no bodies were found. Constable Moroney raked the fire and several pieces of bone were recovered from the ashes. But nothing could be identified. Nevertheless, Mowbray held an inquest and suspicion fell on the native police who were in Irvinebank at the time. The Attorney-General then requested the police to investigate the matter. They arrested the Nigger Creek native police including Sub-Inspector William Nichols, and the rest is history.

Download or read book Food Parcels in International Migration written by Diana Mata-Codesal and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-08-09 with total page 229 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book takes food parcels as a vehicle for exploring relationships, intimacy, care, consumption, exchange, and other fundamental anthropological concerns, examining them in relation to wider transnational spaces. As the contributors to this volume argue, food and its related practices offer a window through which to examine the reconciliation of people’s localised intimate experiences with globalising forces. Their analyses contribute to an embodied and sensorial approach to social change by examining migrants and their families’ experiences of global connectedness through familiar objects and narratives. By bringing in in-depth ethnographic insights from different social and economic contexts, this book widens the understanding of the lived experiences of mobility and goes beyond the divide between origin and destination countries, therefore contributing to new ways of thinking about migration and transnationalism that take into consideration the materiality of global connections and the way such connections are embodied and experienced at the local level.

Download or read book Contested Ethnic Identity written by Chris Kostov and published by Peter Lang. This book was released on 2010 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the twentieth century Macedonia had a very turbulent history. Essentially, the region became the apple of discord among the Balkan states. Ethnic identity formation among immigrants from Macedonia to Canada followed the political developments in the Balkans. This book illustrates the late emergence of an ethnic Macedonian community in Toronto and the roots of the clash between the Macedonian, Greek and Bulgarian ethnic communities. The author tackles a number of important questions: When did the Macedonian ethnic identity start in Canada? What was the ethnic affiliation of the first Macedonian immigrants' cultural organizations and churches in Toronto? Why did they use the Bulgarian language? Why do their first churches continue to be called Macedono-Bulgarian churches? Did all immigrants have one monolithic ethnic identity? The author relies upon three different types of literature: national identity development and theories; Balkan history; and ethnic studies of the Bulgarian, Macedonian and Greek settlements of Toronto. Oral interviews, conducted in Toronto by the author and other researchers, enhance this volume. The book sheds light on a much contested subject which continues to fuel debate from Skopje, Athens and Sofia to Toronto and Melbourne.--Publisher's description

Book excerpt: A young girl forced to work in a Queens sweatshop calls child services on her mother in this powerful debut memoir about labor and self-worth that traces a Chinese immigrant's journey to an American future. As a teen, Anna Qu is sent by her mother to work in her family's garment factory in Queens. At home, she is treated as a maid and suffers punishment for doing her homework at night. Her mother wants to teach her a lesson: she is Chinese, not American, and such is their tough path in their new country. But instead of acquiescing, Qu alerts the Office of Children and Family Services, an act with consequences that impact the rest of her life. Nearly twenty years later, estranged from her mother and working at a Manhattan start-up, Qu requests her OCFS report. When it arrives, key details are wrong. Faced with this false narrative, and on the brink of losing her job as the once-shiny start-up collapses, Qu looks once more at her life's truths, from abandonment to an abusive family to seeking dignity and meaning in work. Traveling from Wenzhou to Xi'an to New York, Made in China is a fierce memoir unafraid to ask thorny questions about trauma and survival in immigrant families, the meaning of work, and the costs of immigration.
